The game

It didn't take long for Flamengo to take control of the match. In the first quarter, a large lead forced Brasília to call a timeout to fine-tune their plays, but nothing Flamengo couldn't stop. Remaining strong throughout, the team maintained its intensity throughout the second quarter, closing the score at 45-23.

The second half continued in much the same fashion. With two solid quarters, Flamengo managed to score over 25 points in both, relying on a strong collective performance. Brasília tried to react, but couldn't get their moves off the ground and were thwarted by the Mais Querido's excellent defense.
